Green Terror

[MasterJW]

I'm fairly new to cichlids and I would like to do a tank for green terrors and possibly a jaguar cichlid, would that work and how big of a tank would I need?

 

[ehh]

Long term minimum?

My vote is a 125. One jag and one gt. But I think that's pushing it.

I'm a bit confused by the question. If your talking about one Green Terror and one Jaguar you do not need a 125g, a 90g is perfectly fine. If your talking about multiple GT's that's a whole different ballpark.

A jag by itself in a 90 is bad, trying to add another cichlid would equal death for what ever else your trying to put in there unless its a jag of the opposite sex

A 4ft tank for a pair of cichlids that will hit 12 inches. I disagree.

With fish like that isn't it more width of tank rather than the length. A jag will hit 14 inches easy u need width so the fish can comfortably turn around. So anything less than 16 inches is no good. As long as the tank is deep 4 feet should be long enough for 2 fish to co exists.

I agree with 125 that stock in a 4' tank is a death match waiting to happen. Besides jags mix in size around 14" it will dominate that tank in no time.

No way need a 6 ft tank minimum 125 if they grow up together if not bigger

Height of tank means nothing for jag it's about width and length
